Former Chelsea defender Michael Duberry thinks that Roberto Di Matteo has a chance of becoming the Blues' permanent boss.

Former Chelsea defender Michael Duberry believes that Chelsea may keep hold of interim manager Roberto Di Matteo.

The 41-year-old took over at Stamford Bridge following the dismissal of Andre Villas-Boas earlier this month on a temporary basis until the end of the season.

While the likes of Jose Mourinho, Rafael Benitez and Pep Guardiola have been linked to the permanent role, Duberry believes that reaching fourth spot and success in the Champions League could secure Di Matteo's place.

"If they start slipping in the next few games and he doesn't get them in the Champions League places then I think he can forget about getting the job on a long-term basis," Duberry told Goal.com.

"But if he does get them into fourth spot and takes them a bit further in the Champions League and they start to look a better team then maybe they will start thinking we have discovered something here."

Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp has also been linked to the position but has ruled out the possibility of moving to Stamford Bridge.
